Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was elminated from this transcription as there were 
no deaths on this passage.

The original lister numbered the passengers, but began again at #1 when he listed the Cabin
passengers.  The transcriber has continued the numbering consecutively.  The original lister 
provided a recapitulation at the end of the document, which reconciled, indicating there were 
no missing passengers, lost at the folds of the document.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further 
explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.
